Rep. John Katko announces that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump

Rep. John Katko, who represents the Syracuse area and New York’s 24th District, announced that he will vote to impeach President Donald Trump.

Katko is apparently the first Republican member of the House of Representatives to announce his support.

“To impeach a sitting president is a decision I do not take lightly,” Katko said in his statement.

He said that, as a former federal prosecutor, he approached this question by looking at the facts.

“The facts are this: last week, the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a mob intent on disrupting a Joint Session of Congress and preventing certification of the Electoral College results. Consequently, the U.S. Capitol Police were overrun… For the staff and police officers who were in the Capitol that day, this event will forever haunt them,” Katko said in his statement.

He said that he would vote to impeach Trump for inciting the attack on the Capitol.

By the time two years is up the country and the vote is going to be under full communist control. Elections won’t matter.

This idiot is waging that evil will win, Biden will be inaugurated.

Should the opposite occur, this guy will be in deep kimchee.

By deliberately promoting baseless theories suggesting the election was somehow stolen, the president created a combustible environment of misinformation, disenfranchisement, and division.

Biden stole the election. Trump voters were "disenfranchised". Trump didn't incite the riot, and Katko's "misinformation" will cause "division".

It’s not a warning. It’s a declaration that this cretin suffers from a crainial/rectal inversion.

We received an email from our US Representative. He is supposedly a conservative Republican, but it was such a whiny account of the protest that I doubt I can ever vote for him again.

I am sorry he was frightened but get some backbone!

I don’t get why FreeRepublic is slow to understand what is happening - the GOP is afraid of Trump and that he may run again and win again and control the party - impeaching Trump means the GOP establishment gets to control the party again. We need to get organizing and telling Senators and congressmen we oppose this to the point we will not vote Republican again ever if they do this.

We need to shed our allegiance to the Republican party if they go along with impeachment.

Yes, I will.

I’m just an old woman with bad knees, but I think I may have more gumption than some of these wusses.

I come from a time when men were brave, women were modest, and romance was alive.

If he really believes that, he’s a dumbass. Anyone who listened to the President’s words, knows he didn’t incite anything.
